... 'Prophets of Science-Fiction'

(10PM ET, Science) series premiere

Ridley Scott, the creative genius behind Hollywood classics including 'Alien,' 'Blade Runner' and 'Gladiator,' goes from behind the camera to on-air guide to explore the relationship between genre and the constantly-evolving worlds of science and technology in this eight-part series. From Jules Verne and Isaac Asimov to George Lucas and Phillip K. Dick, the dreams of storytellers often become the inspiration for researchers seeking mankind's next transformative discovery. 'Frankenstein' author Mary Shelley is this week's subject.
